As some of you might know last year when I started the WL journey, the boys saw what I had done and after a few months they wanted to join in. Now, after they realized the changes they would have to make, they weren't too happy (what 9 yr old would be...lol) and they came along kicking/screaming to begin with. But once they started dropping the weight they were hooked. This is their last year baseball photos and this years, a little less then 1 year apart. Justin's goal was to be able to carry the football next year in football (they have a weight limit) and he hit that, now wants to loose about 4 more. Colby has about 8 more to loose to be at his goal. As a mom, i'm almost more proud of them hitting their goal then what i've done

Angie, I was going to ask you about the boys when I saw you at the get-together - they have done some AMAZING work this year, just like their mom - wonder where they got their stick-to-it-iveness?!

You are such a great mom to encourage your family to join you in your efforts to healthy living, and you've all succeeded wildly! Give them a big 'ol handshake and/or hug from me and tell them WTG!

Oh Angie, I am just SO proud of you and your wonderful guys. You couldn’t have told the story any better than with those pictures. I was totally blown away at how much the boys have lost and can just feel how happy they both must be. All three of you are such an inspiration. What each of you has accomplished is nothing short of remarkable and will have such positive repercussions for a lifetime to come.

Thank you for sharing y’alls journey with us. And please tell Justin and Colby how proud we are of them. They have achieved something so life-altering with such hard work and perseverance—not an easy thing to accomplish at that age. And another kudos to you, too, for being their inspiration and for your own life-altering change.
